A brake stroke logging indicator for determining brake stroke condition on a vehicle braking system comprising a moveable logger within a housing which logger can be moved within the housing from an initial position to a moved position, by the pressure from a brake pushrod. After the pressure from the brake pushrod has been released however, the logger remains in position in the housing. As such, the logger indicates the distance of the longest brake stroke travelled since the system was reset, without the need of a second person, or brake pedal jamming device. The indicating logger will always indicate the longest stroke travelled, where the driver has no need to hold the brake pedal down for inspection. Moreover, when the vehicle is stopped the indicating logger will indicate other mechanical problems that normally can be detected only when the vehicle is in motion.
